The Coaches feature in TeamGenius allows you to assign coaches to a team or player pool and invite them through TeamGenius to conduct evaluations. You can also check their progress within an assessment for the team they've been assigned to.
Note: By creating a coach, you are not inviting them to be an admin in the system. They will not be able to see results or manage the admin side of the platform. Creating a coach allows you to assign the coach to a team so they are able to evaluate that team once you send them an invite to do so.
Below we'll explore how to:
- Create Coaches
- Manage Coaches
- Assign Coaches to Teams
- Assign Coaches to Player Pools
Create Coaches
At the top, scroll over the Teams menu and select Manage Coaches.
Step 1: Click Mange Coaches under Manage Your Teams.
